How can we dispose of the "Home" breadcrumb on the front page? It's redundant.

I'm not sure what you mean: the logic for the display of breadcrumbs is:

if ($breadcrumb) print $breadcrumb;

which only displays the bread crumb if Drupal tells it to (i.e. it is not theme specific).

Could you describe the problem in more detail? Provide a test site or a screenshot?

Here's a shot of the main page (it's in the subdirectory "test" right now):

Notice the "Home" breadcrumb? What could be causing this? It did not happen with other PHPtemplates.

Actually, wait, it DOES happen on other PHPtemplates. If no answer is forthcoming here, I shall take it up with PHPtemplate.

Just wondering, is that page "/node", or is it a taxonomy/category node list?

A breadcrumb trail containing only "Home" can appear on taxonomy/category pages if Drupal cannot figure how to construct the trail. This occurs when you're vocabulary is multi-hierarchal.

I don't see the problem at http://www.mangapunk.com/test/ (though I do in the screenshot), and I'm unable to replicate this problem myself...

The mangapunk.com/test default theme is xtemplate based, so you don't see the problem. The page in the screenshot is the index page of mangapunk.com/test with the USER-APPLIED theme Sands. I.e., you have to get an account and change the default them to see it.

I edited my page.tpl.php file thusly:

Where it said:
<?php if ($breadcrumb) print $breadcrumb; ?>

I replaced it with:
<?php if ($_GET["q"] == variable_get("site_frontpage",
"node")){}
else if ($breadcrumb) {print $breadcrumb;} ?>

It seems to work.
